The Mess Room Rivalry and a Save of Honor
Belcour and Carew, officers in a single regiment, are starkly contrasted. Carew pursues pleasure at others' expense, even using a fake name to seduce a poor girl. A forged letter ruins him before Belcour, and a deadly quarrel threatens honour and a family. Belcour defies a duel to protect his home and instill mercy.

Ben Jonson in Mulder's Monthly review of his powers
Mulder's Monthly assesses Ben Jonson as a high order poet with strong learning and ambition yet criticizes his overbearing sensual focus, social shallowness, and theatrical bluntness. It notes his clarity of style but occasional lack of passion, and contrasts him unfavorably with Shakespeare while praising occasional brilliance.

Wealth and Wonders in a 1830s N O Era Chronicle
A scattered miscellany notes a New Orleans cotton factory in operation, a Texas March praised as May like in flowers and sun, a dumped suitor’s cruel remark about a milliner, and a Tennessee property table. It covers earthquakes in Martinique with 400 dead, trade gaps, a New Orleans mechanics’ fair, Paris promotions, and a Paris note on Princess Maria of Orleans, plus casual quips on fashion, poetry, and oddities.

Advice From a Farmer to His Sons on Better Cropping
A veteran farmer urges his boys to improve farming this season with thicker grass seed, higher yielding oats, better Indian corn, ash and plaster dressings, and saltpetre steep for seedlings. He plans to expand potatoes and sugar beets, mentions buying a neighbor's old still for animal feed, and extols rural independence over city life with steady labor and providence.
